When is a Septic System Regulated as a Class V Well?

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water

A septic system must meet Underground Injection Control Program requirements and is considered a Class V well if the system receives any amount of industrial or commercial wastewater or the system receives solely sanitary waste from multiple-family residences or a non-residential establishment and has the capacity to serve 20 or more people per day. This fact sheet discusses minimum federal requirements for Class V wells and additional requirements that apply when a system receives motor vehicle waste. Locations of where one might find Class V wells are also listed.
